Comments about ‘Utah Jazz: Top brass mulling over what to do with Miles’

Is this even a question? He is NOT worth the $4 or so million that we would have
to match to keep him here a year. We have other players that are more important
and who will need that money. Let him go, he doesn't even like it here, he'll
let you know on myspace or facebook. Not Utah Jazz material

Let C.J. go. Jazz need more money for cap space so we can sign Milly (makes
less than a million a year) and Brewer. Let Morris Almond step up into the
spot. He is more athletic than C.J. and at least he shows up to the revue. The
Sonics need all the help they can get and maybe C.J. can get more of a
consistent role on that young team.

with the Jazz loaded on the SG position its hard to get CJ Miles the minutes and
to understand really how talented CJ Miles is. CJ Miles is a superstar in the
making, he's got the skills and talent...it's too bad the Jazz won't be able to
keep CJ on the team. OKC wouldn't have offer CJ if he wasn't any good! c'mon do
the math, they offered you the money and playing time....well CJ is gone for
sure. Once he's playing for the other team and averaging in double figures, Jazz
will surely miss and regret letting him go!!!

LOLZ.....If there's
any consolation at least he's not going to the Lakers!!

Don't you see what you watch? C. J. will be an allstar within 4 years. If we let
him go it will go down the biggest blunder in Jazz history.Not only is he our
best 2 but he can play the 3.( better than old man Harpring and we pay him at
least that much.)If the know what they are doing they will keep C.J. Mo Almond
is basically another one dimensional Korver so don't get your hopes too high on
him folks.

Let C.J. go. There are more important players who will need the money down the
line. I wish C.J. well but he is not worth the money. That's whats wrong with
the NBA. Overpaid but as long as the fans keep going it will just keep going up.
I think it's time for the fans to boycott games.

Miles needs to hit the road. He hasn't shown anything yet. I keep hearing
people say he has so much potential and it would be foolish to let him go, but
the truth is he just hasn't done much of anything and he won't get many minutes
to continue his development. Let him go to a team where he might be able to
play. Utah can use that money on more pressing needs.

I'm a huge Morris Almond fan and also a basketball coach of many years. Watching
almond warm up and his shooting performance against only average players in the
review. I'm not sure if he is really as great a shooter as some beleive. He
doesn't really rebound it, get steals or assists. Super duper person. Good but
not great player.

I just don't want to hear anyone say that Sloan didn't give him a chance. He
had a chance everyday in practice. When he played well in practice two years
ago, he was rewarded as the starting 2 guard at the beginning of the season.
Last year Brewer played better, and he won the starting job. You just don't get
handed minutes, you need to earn them.

CJ is a lot more athletic than Almond and has more talent and potential, but I
don't know about an allstar in 4 years. The west is stacked with guards right
now, and it still will be in 4 years. D-Will, Paul, Roy, Durrant, Bayless(if he
continues his summer league play in the NBA), Mayo, Rudy Gay, Parker, Monta
Ellis, and those are just the young guards. Then there's Kobe, T-Mac, and Nash,
and all three of them will be allstars as long as they are in the league, so do
you really think that CJ will be an allstar with that group of gaurds in the
West? If D-Will can't even make it on the team this year, there's no way CJ
will beat out those guys for an spot on the allstar team.

I figure a Dallas guy like Miles would rather go closer to home in OKC. It
seems like letting him go would be a win-win because Almond is more of a Sloan
guy and a better pure shooter--or as Sloan would say "a maker."

The team only has so much money and its really hard to justify locking in CJ for
four years when I can't see where he will get playing time. OKC has cap space
and minute to give and the Jazz have neither. Its a no brainer to let Almond
step in CJ's spot duty role and save money for the many Jazz free agents next
year.

They need to retain the rights of CJ.
And since New Jersey has been dangling Sean Williams and Marcus Williams for
veteran players, trade Matt Harpring and Jason Hart. I hate to see Harpring go
because he is so tough, but he makes $6.5 mil a year and has that banged up
knee. Give Korver his minutes, I know he is not as tough and may not be as good
of a defender, but he can stay infront of his opponent pretty well, and he's a
better shooter. Over all, this move would be more of a positive simply because
he can shoot from anywhere on the court.

Give CJ the minutes Korver
used to have to see what he can do. If he is as good as most of us bloggers
think he is, well then he's worth the money. Besides with Korvers opt out
clause next year, its wise to keep CJ for insurance. If CJ doesnt prosper as
well as we all think he can, he will still only be 22 years old, and plenty of
other teams would love to have his abilities on their team, trade him.

Why don't we keep CJ and then work like crazy to get rid of Korver? Korver can
opt out next year and even if he decides to stay he would make a great piece in
a trade because he would only have one year left on his deal. CJ is well worth
the risk at that price and if he gets more consistent minutes then he would be
worth the new contract. Also $4 million per year is not like a huge contract for
someone who is either a starter or a 15-20 minute per night guy.

I dont know what Almond has to do for people to sour on him. He's no better
than any of these guys in the revue trying to make a team but who will obviously
end up in Europe. He is a good kid though. CJ is better and has more potential
in every way than Almond, plus Harpring is pretty much done. We need CJ to step
into his spot. This is hopefully a no brainer for the front office. I guess
we'll see if they are seeing what I'm seeing.

We get 2 potentially decent players in
Marcus Williams, if he pans out he can be a great back up point guard (as much
as I like Ronnie Price, we need someone who has point guard skills), and Sean
Williams who is a defensive specialist in a power forwards body. I know we all
ready have enough power forwards, but he is 6'10 and with a little more body
weight and the right system, he can be another Ben Wallace. I know what you are
all thinking, Ben Wallace is terrible. Remember how great of a player he was
with Detriot, its because he was in the right system for his style of play. He
was nothing before that and nothing after that. If Sean Williams doesnt work,
its worth still worth the opportunity.

Here's why NJ likes this
trade.

The get one of the toughest veterans in the NBA in Matt
Harpring, whom is a good defender. Something that team is lacking. Jason Hart
is just a throw in. Plus, they are giving up practically nothing.

I
have tried to come up with a better solution, if you have one, let me know
